(Reuters) - Chelsea manager Frank Lampard urged his players on Friday to put their midweek Champions League humbling by Bayern Munich behind them and refocus their attention on the fight for the top four in the Premier League.
The 3-0 loss to the German champions at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of their last-16 tie was Chelsea's heaviest ever margin of defeat in a home game in European competition.
"The match was tough, it opens your eyes somewhat. The last Premier League performance was very good. Chelsea, fourth in the league, have also seen their gap to fifth reduced to only three points in recent weeks and Lampard is aware another slip-up could cost the London side who have won only once in their last five league games.
"Wolves and Sheffield United, you have to respect them, they are good teams. We have a fight on. Anyone who is in range has a chance."
